Jerry Lewis - Leap Frog

I found this video clip with Jerry Lewis from the movie The Nutty Professor via a comment made by leazwell. Jerry Lewis has made perfect examples of the phenomenon that I call "the music made me do it". Look at him in the films Errand boy or Cinderfella.

In this video clip he cant help himself, he just has to dance to the song Leap Frog performed by Les Brown and His Band of Renown.

The nutty professor explains:

"I got carried away by the music, it was a toe tapper"

What songs do you consider a "toe tapper"? Please tell me.

I've featured a very different version of Leap Frog before in my blog post "Jazz as a conversation" but it was also a example of "the music made me do it".

Jerry Lewis - Errand Boy

Jerry Lewis is great comic actor when it comes to adapting his expressions to fit the music. Here is a video clip with Jerry Lewis from the movie "Errand boy" where he imagines what it's like to be the boss. He mimes to the song "Blues in Hoss Flat" by Count Basie.



More info about the film Errand boy at Internet Movie Database.

If you like this clip, you'll also like Jerry Lewis in the film Cinderfella.

The music made me do it - Cinderfella

Sometimes you hear a piece of music that is simply irresistible, you must move to the music. Maybe you will not dance, but you just have to express what the music tells you to do.

Someone may see you and ask "How did you come up with that move?" and your answer is "I really don't know, the music made me do it!".

If you're not a musician yourself, you can always pretend that you are. That is what happens in this video clip where Jerry Lewis mime dances to Count Basie's "Cute" from the movie Cinderfella.




Those who have seen me dj know that I sometimes behave just like him, because:

I can't help it!

The music made me do it!
